COLONIAL JUSTICE AND DECOLONIZATION IN THE HIGH...

This book is the first study of the development and decolonization of a British colonial high
court in Africa. It traces the history of the High Court of Tanzania from its establishment in
1920 to the end of its institutional process of decolonization in 1971. This process involved
disentangling the High Court from colonial state structures and imperial systems that were
built on racial inequality while simultaneously increasing the independence of the judiciary
and application of British judicial principles. Feingold weaves together the rich history of
the Court with a discussion of its judges - both as members of the British Colonial Legal
Service and as individuals - to explore the impacts and intersections of imperial policies 
national politics  and individual initiative. Colonial Justice and Decolonization in the High
Court of Tanzania is a powerful reminder of the crucial roles played by common law courts in
the operation and legitimization of both colonial and post-colonial states.
